	Iranian Cinema: The Role of Women in the Iranian War Movies
		This trait finds its way directly to the movie too and the woman in the film is possessed by the spirit of the heroine of the book, and she possesses romantic sentiments, picturesque attraction and the roughness a war movie requires.
		His writings and movies prove that he is much concerned with women's characteristics; either the mythical woman as in The Saga of Tara and The Stranger and The Fog or the modern one in Maybe Some other Time.
		In Iranian films all the women are generally either passive characters who are not exhibited properly, or curious creatures who are responsible only to cut the Gordian knot, a formula which is not applicable to relations between two brothers.

		In fact, the movie makers and critics were in most instances influenced by the rapidly accelerating developments of the events instead of their own leaving any effects on the culture and social viewpoints.
		Those in charge of formulating policies for movies, because of gross generality in their overviews, have hardly given any attention to the differences in the ages of the young movie goers in the last two decades.
		Right after the screening of some barely attractive and exciting Iranian films last spring during the Iranian new year and contrary to not many years ago, the doldrums at the box offices gave rise to their being forced to be sent to back log charts of the movie theaters prematurely.

	Library and Information Science Miscellaneous: Iranian students in Australia protest against the SBS policy in ...
		" We, a group of Iranian students and families in Australia, protest against the SBS policy of regularly broadcasting solely one type of Iranian movies and documentaries that portray Iran as hell; Iranian culture as backward; and the whole nation as a place of hunger, earthquake, immorality, and poverty.
		Fourth, portraying Iranian women mainly as victims of social injustice in Iran is itself unjust to the struggle of women and human rights activists in Iran.
		Iranian female students signing this letter believe that the director who has lived twenty years away from Iran has no authentic right to speak for millions of Iranian women inside due to her poor and simplified analysis of the complexity of life there.

	In Iran, nightclubs are banned and concerts are rare, but movies abound. The Fajr festival is the country's Cannes.
		Movies are one of the few popular entertainment options in a country where public concerts are rare (and highly regulated) and nightclubs are nonexistent.
		Iranians are still surprised at how far their film industry has come.
		Last year, Iranian movies won almost 100 awards at international film festivals, with many of these works picked up for distribution, including Panahi's "Crimson Gold." The film, which dramatizes a real-life story of a botched robbery in Tehran, reflects the humanistic approach of Iranian cinema.

		The very fact that Iranian women are at the forefront of the current fight for women's rights in the Muslim world makes one wonder what they might have accomplished without the suffocating rules and limitations put on them by the present government, and the same goes for the population as a whole.
		The movie isn't as weighty and depressing as it sounds; there is quite a bit of lightheartedness and humor, and the mother-in-law is something of a comic figure.
		I really liked this movie because it takes you into the streets of Tehran, while most Iranian movies tend to be set mostly at home (such as Leila) or out in the country (such as in Majid Majidi's wonderful fables mostly featuring children).

		Certainly a major influence among other Iranian filmmakers, Kiarostami serves to anchor one end of a stylistic continuum whose opposite extreme is director Majid Majidi, whose mastery of Hollywood polish and accompanying popularity has been an irritant to Iran's school of naturalistic filmmakers.
		Most observers who aren't expatriate Iranians (and some who are, like academic Jamsheed Akrami) conclude that while Makhmalbaf began his career as a true believer (like Eisenstein in some ways), he has evolved into an authentic filmmaker with a unique vision.
		His movies are sometimes labeled children's films, but that glib tag sets unfortunate limits on the scope and depth of his vision.

		Iranian film making is enjoying an increase in popularity worldwide because of the quality of films made.
		Award winner at Cannes and Sundance and the first Iranian film nominated for an Oscar, this tender and loving story is about a brother and sister whose life is still sweet in spite of economic hardship.
		Mehrjui's subdued, subtle approach rolls with the gentle rhythms of a slow-paced society like many of his contemporaries, but underneath the surface calm is a churning sea of emotions.

		In most cases, unless you are of Iranian descent and speak the language, you have not had the opportunity to hear about, much less view, many Iranian movies.
		Iranian movies dealing with this subject matter may be difficult to watch, but in classrooms around the country can help our young people understand the horrors of war, and the distinction between a fundamentalist regime and citizens who are just like us.
		Iranian comedies, music videos, thrillers, and family dramas are all available on the Internet in addition to the award-winning dramas and documentaries; and in their own way, they are just as important, whether your purpose is educational or for entertainment.

	THE IRANIAN: American movies after 9/11, Ahmad Sadri
		Because such movies deal with possible trajectories of the near future, some are bound to appear prescient after the fact.
		Indeed the movie opens with an act of Monty that borders on saintly: he saves a wounded but fiercely defiant stray dog over the objections of an armed and irate companion.
		In the most memorable soliloquy of the movie, Monty breaks out into a series of racist tirades against the usual ethnic suspects of New York before a moment of clarity when he finally points the accusatory finger at his own image in the mirror.

	FToI: By the Way, My favourite director is Luis Bunuel!
		Another few movies, each year, are made about the Iran-Iraq war and the 'Eight Year Holy Defence.' Unfortunately, not only these fail to show the reality of war, but also their total sacrifice propaganda has left most of Iranians alienated.
		There is also another way of regarding the problem: making movie on social issue about Iranian society is very tricky and whenever somebody wants to address some issue and then add some fiction to it, in the end people consider his movie as a sheer documentary and blame him why he didn’t show the reality.
		BTW I just wanted to mention another category of the movies like “Glassy Agency” or “Leyli with me ast” which deal with issues that are not at all familiar to non-Iranian audiences yet Iranians confront frequently in their everyday lives.

		Cinema in the post-WWII world is often thought of as having radiated outward from Hollywood, but there has all along been a second source, in an alternate 'cognitive mapping,' which has been alluded to by writers such as Gilles Deleuze (Cinema II) and Fredric Jameson (The Geopolitical Aesthetic).
		These films are often about children, but they nevertheless make challenging statements about modern transformations in Iranian society, and life in Tehran in particular.
		The films I am interested in may then qualify as 'realism,' in the tradition of the earlier Indian and African realisms of the 1950's and 60's, which attempted to imagine newly emergent national spaces.
